evaṃ jñānendriyāṇāṃ tu tat tat saukhyaṃ su-sādhayet | yāmamātraṃ pratidinaṃ yogī yatnād atandritaḥ ||72||

Translation

अशा रीतीने ज्ञानेन्द्रियांबाबत जे जे सुख उत्पन्न होते, ते ते ‘आत्मस्वरूप’ मानून सम्यक् साधावे. योगी दररोज एक याम इतका काळ, प्रयत्नपूर्वक व आळस न करता अभ्यास करावा॥७२॥

Academic Translation

Thus, with regard to the organs of knowledge, one should properly accomplish (cultivate) that-and-that happiness (as the Self). Every day, for the duration of a yāma, the yogin—striving and unwearied—(should practice).
